Evaluation of Different Anthropometric Indicators for Screening for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Elderly Individuals.

Conclusion: LAP is closely related to the occurrence of NAFLD and could be an efficient screening and treatment tool for NAFLD in the elderly people. Lay Summary. We conducted a screening and study of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the elderly population by determining the association between obesity indexes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. We found that LAP is practical, easy-to-measure tool for screening and studying NAFLD in the high-risk community elderly population, making it a valuable indicator in research.
